Validation of Instruments to Evaluate Primary Healthcare from the Patient Perspective: Overview of the Method

摘要: Instruments to evaluate care from the patient's perspective have been developed and validated elsewhere, but no comparative information is available on their performance in Canadian context guide researchers policy makers selecting one instrument over another. Our objective was compare instruments thought be most pertinent context. Specifically, we aimed subscales different for same attribute of ensure that instruments' reported psychometric properties were similar Program evaluators could then confident tools' applicability context, if used, either at times or jurisdictions, our results would provide a common benchmark comparing relative scores. In this paper, report detail how selected instruments, identified recruited study sample administered instruments. We general descriptive with those by developers.
